Moms Working Overtime
Moms Working Overtime is the community of women you've been searching to find for SO long. In this season of motherhood, each and every one of us clocks "overtime" hours, showing up the best we can for our family. These seemingly small things are what actually make the biggest impact on our children...and even though they may leave us completely exhausted, they pay time and a half - meaning the return on our investment is far greater than we could ever imagine! We bring together moms in waiting, stay-at-home moms, working moms, brand new moms, and the moms who have just a little bit more experience than the rest of us! Join in for laughs, support, encouragement, and validation of all things motherhood.

Cancel culture and declining social skills have made being vulnerable, exposing weaknesses, or even trusting a community a really scary thing in motherhood. We're afraid to admit that things aren't going so hot, or that we aren't enjoying the process. We don't want to be labeled a "bad mom." So, as a result, we have created a generation of mothers that suffer in silence and put on a good face. But do y...
We know the feeling of burnout in motherhood all too well - but it truly doesn't have to be this way!
In today's pep talk, I share some practical tips for establishing systems in your day-to-day to help your family, help you. Utilizing systems can help you scale your efficiency, spread out your workload, and feel less burnt out. As moms, we NEED good systems in place if we truly want to enjoy motherhood.
"Maybe I'm just not doing this right" - isn't this a thought that crosses each of our minds at some point in time in motherhood? We look up and see SO many moms that just seem to be killing it. They don't look stressed, or frazzled, or exhausted. So, are we doing something wrong?
Nope.
Motherhood is hard. Motherhood is exhausting. Motherhood is meant to challenge us. And motherhood can b...
Motherhood has never been about "bouncing back" or returning to the way things were before...it's always been about rebuilding - stronger, more efficient, more confident, more joyful. And that's where I've been the past couple of months...rebuilding.
In today's episode, well...I'm back! Let's chat a little bit about where I've been and how excited I am to be hanging out with yo...
As a mom, we're the thermostat for our family - how we show up and respond to each situation directly influences the way our family does as well. Motherhood can feel so heavy, and even more so when we're sleep deprived, burnt out, and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Can we all agree teachers don't get enough credit, compensation, or respect for the work they do, molding the minds of our children day in and day out? Because I know for a fact that majority of us wouldn't last a week in their role!
Our teachers are incredible and many, if not most, pour their heart and souls into what they do. They practice extreme patience, comfort through struggle, kiss away boo-boo's, ...
There are certain people that cross paths with us in our lives and motherhood journey that make us think..."wow, this is a God thing for sure!" Meeting Kelsey was one of those moments for me!
I'm so excited to share my sweet new friend with you. Kelsey's book is easily the TOP motherhood book I've ever read and is one I'm currently doing as our May Book Club in the MWO Facebook Community.
Our guest on this episode, Anne Marie Landers, is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things holistic health and using natural remedies as our first line of defense with common illnesses. I enjoyed having her as a guest SO much and we could've talked for hours. Her interest in holistic health practices began like many of our own - as a mom herself, questioning if there was another, more natural way to improve our health...
How often do we make a post on social media, showing off some cherished family photos or bragging on a child's accomplishments, only to revisit the post a handful of times or more to see how many likes or comments it received? Social media has conditioned us to be a "gold star" society and now we're addicted to sharing details of our lives that others will clap for...almost as validation that "hey, you&apos...

We're often our own harshest critics in motherhood.
In this episode, I challenge your perspective and give you 3 action steps to help overcome those moments in motherhood when we feel like we're failing.
We have to learn to start speaking to ourselves the way we would to a friend when she shares her struggles. Because as moms, we juggle so many things at once and it was never intended to be perfect.
We all know it. We've all lived it at some point in time. That flailing your arms, gasping for air, head bobbing above and below the surface feeling...survival mode. It's not fun and it's extremely discouraging to feel as a mom.
Am I really strong enough for this?
Will I ever get through this?
Why do other moms make it look so easy?
The reality is, you are, and you will, but it's no...
This episode is exactly what you need to hear today! I had the privilege of sitting down for an interview with author, actor, and crazy busy mom of 5, Kelli Stuart. Kelli has been through many trials so far in her motherhood journey, including navigating illness with her older children, adoption of their youngest son and learning of his special needs, a cancer diagnosis herself, and now figuring out what the transition of her oldes...
As moms, we're so afraid to drop a ball or disappoint others. There's no doubt we're an integral component in our family's dynamic, but is everything really going to come crashing down around us if we let something fall to the wayside? Probably not. We're going to step into some humility today because the immense amount of pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect must stop.
We're hardest on...
We no longer have the same 24 hours we did before we were moms, so there's one thing we all must get VERY good at: the word "no."
Every decision we make is either a deposit or a withdrawal from our "bank account" of time, energy, emotion, patience, etc. And every time we say "yes" to something, we say "no" to something else...often ourselves.
We're over scheduled...

Today's episode is so fun! I had the opportunity to sit down with homeschooling and homesteading mom of four, Hannah Burlbaw to talk all about raising good humans.
Homesteading and all things that go into it - growing your own food, raising chickens and getting fresh eggs, baking fresh bread - are all the rage lately. We're all waking up and realizing that we want to know what's in our food and develop a mo...
We can all agree that we want our children to turn out better than us, right? I think that's one of the few things we can definitely all agree on as moms actually! And for good reason.
Sometimes this requires breaking some generational curses that our family has passed down over and over. But in order to do this, we have to work on ourselves first. We have to spend time really reflecting and decide how we want to sho...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
